In the country parishes in this State
the reform element lacks organization.
If you visit the planters and farmers at
their homes you will find them for Nj
cholls and reform. IfyOu visit the office
holders i'm the little country towns. you
Will find that they are for McEnery and
patronage. But it is this latter class
which usually organizes public meetings
manipulates the primaries, and controls
the parochial conventions. That sort
of work has become the recognized func-
tion of few-not by suffrage. but by
sufferance- -and any particular show Of
zeal on the part of a private member is
resented as an invasion of professional
province by layInan. 1t is high time
that this presumptuons usurpation which
is known to be dominant throughout the
country districts were effectually rebu.
ked; but it will never be overthrovn and
trampled under foot, as it ought to be.
until the private members of the party
come to the front and send the profess
sionals to the rear.-N, o. Picayunc.

4 Powerful Alliance.

All three will undertake to protect any individual interests, and the infringement of which might disturb the peace of Europe. |. is rum pred at Vienna that Emperor Joseph will follow the example of Ger. many and confer decoration on Signor Dirobiker. The belief is expressed in London that the treaty of alliance te. tween Germany, Italy and Austria was signed while the attention of the French was fixed upon Germany.

In visiting the different mines in this district it is surprising to see the amount ofwork which is being done by men who own the properties, in other words; there is more prospecting being done inTomb. stone to-day than ever before in the history of this camp. Min. ing, like all other industries has its ups and downs. It has to contend with a ring in Wall street, but in spite of all this oppression, it is gradually forging its way to the front. There always has been some feeling--not of kindly na. lure between the cattlemen and the mi. ners, but i, was nothing but prejudice, and is fast disappearing. There is nothing to create or maintain feelings be- tween these parties, other than of amiry. The mining man pays his full proportion of taxes, in fact the mines contribute more towards the support and maintain. ence of our county government and it's people than any other source. Taxation rests about equal on all, and all should bear it with becoming decency and pro. priety.

Zulick did not have the the nerve to come out boldly and appoint him because he knew that the Council would refuse to confirm him, but he must use dummies for his appointments and waited until the Council adjourned and then place his men in office.

L. w. Blinn will, in all probability, purchase property in Pheaix. That sleepy old town needs few live men like MT. Blinn to wake then, up. Pros. peri,y is within their reach if they have the ambition to stretch out their arms to embrace it. No section of the country has so many climatic and other natural advantages as has Phenix, but her eli. rens have been wonderfully slow in taking advantage of them. That city to-day should have a population of thirty thousand, and it would if the settlers would put. their shoulders to the wheels of progress. The grade is downward, and all it requires is a slight effort on the part of the people. It looks to us from this distance as if it would be neces. sary to infuse new blood and new ideas into the country before ever any beni- ficial results would ensue. We arc not abusing the people, as they are honest, slow going citizens, but the place should be more prosperous. Itshould be boom ing. It is the most beautiful valley on the whole Pacific Coast, and has hun dreds of natural advantages that no other part of the country can equal, but yet she stands on the mountain top and looks afar into the valleys and calmly watches the surrounding country harvest. ing in the golden heeees of prosperity whilst she sits contentedly upon her elevated pinnacle.
